An excerpt from this Damian Lillard biography:
Historically and no matter what era you look at, the point guard has always been arguably the most critical position out on the court when you talk about the NBA brand of basketball. Some of the greatest championship teams in the history of the league had a point guard that allowed them to perform well on both ends of the floor.
The ‘50s and ‘60s Boston Celtics had the services of Bob Cousy, who is regarded as the pioneer at the point guard position because of his excellent ball-handling skills and passing ability. The ‘60s and early ‘70s era of the Los Angeles Lakers thrived under the hot shooting and playmaking of Jerry West, who was so good that he was used as the model for the NBA’s logo.
The 1971 championship team of the Milwaukee Bucks had Oscar Robertson, who was putting up triple-doubles at a rapid pace a few years back when he was still in his prime handling the point and passing the ball to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. And who could ever disregard Magic Johnson, the man responsible for the Los Angeles Lakers dynasty of the ‘80s and the playmaker regarded as the best to play at his position?
The ‘90s and 2000s also saw their share of terrific point guards who may not have won titles because of the dominance of teams like the Michael Jordan Chicago Bulls, Shaq, and the Big Three San Antonio Spurs that revolved around Tim Duncan. Such all-time great point guards are Penny Hardaway, Kevin Johnson, Jason Kidd, and Steve Nash.
